If children are taught to minimise the risks associated with online activity by their parents, they will usually reinforce this practice themselves and with others when accessing the internet in school. The school is committed to working in partnership with parents and relevant agencies so that we can teach our children to be responsible users of the internet. If you have any concerns about your child’s use of technology, please contact one of the school’s safeguarding leads. Furthermore, if ever you come across anything on the internet that you are concerned about then you can report to CEOP. ​The Parent Info website is a collaboration between Parent Zone and NCA-CEOP which provides support and guidance for parents from leading experts and organisations on how to keep your children safe online.
